Compute the value of a share of common stock of a company whose most recent dividend was $2.00 and is expected to grow at 6 percent per year for the next 2 years, after which the dividend growth rate will decrease to 3 percent per year indefinitely. Assume a 12 percent required rate of return.
i | ii | iii | iv=i+iii | v | vi=iv*v | ||
year | Dividend | Terminal value | Cash flow | PVIF @ 12% | present value | ||
1 | 2.12 | 2*106% | 2.12 | 0.892857 | 1.89 | ||
2 | 2.2472 | 2.12*106% | 25.72 | 27.97 | 0.797194 | 22.29 | |
30.09 | 24.19 | ||||||
therefore price today = | 24.19 | ||||||
Computation of terminal value = | =dividend in year 3/(required rate - growth rate) | ||||||
=2.2472*103%/(12%-3%) | |||||||
